When the midday banquet began, Lu Jingxing was absent due to official business, so Princess Huayang occupied the seat of honor.
When Princess Huayang saw Wanyun approach wearing a veil, she asked with displeasure, "Why on earth would you wear a veil to a banquet?"
The approaching woman curtsied. "Your Highness, this servant has developed a bit of a rash on her face and cannot show it to others for the time being."
Upon hearing this, Princess Huayang no longer cared about her wearing a veil.
Yongjia whispered to Huayang, "Have you finished copying those Heart Sutras? Didn't Imperial Brother say you weren't allowed to leave the Princess Mansion until you were done?"
Huayang ground her teeth. "I finished them!"
She had copied the sutras day and night, all for the sake of coming to the Rong Residence today. She wanted to force Rong An to bow to her like a subject in front of everyone and treat her as the guest of honor, all to avenge the day he'd thrown her to the ground.
